“ A kingdom where, if there are multiple princes (princesses can't rule unless they have no siblings), the princes fight to the death in the arena to decide who gets to rule. A simple way to make sure your brother cannot make a bid for the thrown, and keeps the royal blood in one line.”
“ There is a certain kind of silver-coloured spider who's bite injects an addictive drug into the person that creates a sense of euphoria.
